I have installed on a Thinkpad X200 (4 Giga RAM)
Kubuntu 10.04+
I think trinity 3.5.12 (sudo dpkg -l | grep kde3) gives things like
I can't be much help with Trinity as I am just learning about it but I will
say using any *buntu 10.04 now is a recipe for disaster. *buntu 10.04 had 3
years of support for Desktops and 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) reached EOL (meaning
it gets no support) on May 9 2013.
As a risk minimisation you should really upgrade to a supported release
like Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) or Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)
both of which will receive 5 years of support for Desktop and Server and
then install Trinity.

Hi all!
I have been using TDE 3.5.13.2 a lot an I can tell that it is very
reliable and fast. Typically, on a PC with 512mb+ of RAM and a 1000mhz+
CPU, TDE should run fast, and without issues.
Can you check if you are using decent graphic drivers? I mean better than
universal drivers like VESA or FBDEV.
Also, on the newer computer, it is probably a multi-core CPU system, which
means that the classic branch of TDE might possibly suffer from
non-thread-safe issues. One symptom of it is that some part of TDE might
seems to be locked, but by clicking on something else, it unlocks the other
and the system continues to operate normally. I have never seen it happen
on PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster (with a new version probably this
week), but I have seen it on Ubuntu systems.
There is not much reasons to use an old Linux distro, especially with
large amount of RAM. Support for hardware improves (most of the time) with
each versions updates, and older drivers might have bugs or less optimized
code.

Something I forgot to write is to check that KPowerSave ( the battery
level applet) is set to make the CPU run at reasonable speed. Sometimes,
for a reason I don't know, it is set by default to settings that will make
your computer feel sluggish.
